If you know anything about my why, you’ll know why this brought me to tears. This is evidence that my “Math & Me” workshop WORKS! Parents are healing their math trauma and rediscovering math! Want to learn more? Hit me up!

Adding uhtcearu to my vocab! I just call them “middle of the night crazy thoughts”!! 😆

What actually IS -27^2 anyway? What would it look like?

Does anyone know of a better way to share videos from Instagram? #iteachmath

'Children are biologically predisposed to communicate, to exist [and] live in relation. They quickly perceive how the act of listening is essential for communication' ~Carla Rinaldi Reminds me of @mburnsmath.bsky.social who said the best you can give yourself is to stop and listen to your students.

Whoever your version of “god” is, I think this anecdote probably hits: In a Kinder morning meeting a teacher asked if students would prefer to speak every language or be able to play every instrument. One child chose languages. When asked, Why? The student said, “because then I could talk to God.”

This quote is truly how I feel about NCSM week: “You’re not just learning new things — you’re remembering who you are when you learn and connect.” @mathedleaders.bsky.social #ncsm25 #ncsmatl25

Excitingly, Today's the opening day of MathsWorld, the new hands-on maths museum in London. I've really enjoyed visiting MathsCity in Leeds, but they've now got a London location too! Details at mathsworld.com

Is there a math task for the Boston Cop Slide? #iteachmath #mathplayground #publicmath 😆

@kourtneypeters.bsky.social Welcome to Blue Sky!

What a fun night it was at #NCTMATL25 #NCTM25 Game Night! @jharker314.bsky.social @bscribmather.bsky.social @triangleman.bsky.social @cfless.bsky.social @nankinator.bsky.social @moniquepollitt @novakatz.bsky.social

#CommonCore Should students use algorithms to add & subtract in 3rd grade? (If specificity matters, let’s say with 3 digit numbers) State your argument… #iteachmath #mtbos

Great opportunity to learn to Build your Thinking Classroom with Peter directly! rocketpd.com/cohorts/buil... #buildingthinkingclassrooms #iteachmath

Favorite quote from my Saturday Intensive parent workshop tackling that little t math trauma: "I used to feel like there's a room I can't enter... and I never even tried to knock. Now I realize there *is no room*... I'm already IN the room!" WOW! So powerful! #iteachmath #maththerapy #powerful

Ran a parent workshop today with a small but mighty contingent of 7 elementary school parents. We tackled mindset, learning theory, best ways to help at home, and all 4 operations. It went extremely well! 7 mindsets shifted! Woop woop!! #iteachmath #mathmindsets

#iteachmath... Anyone on Substack I should be following? I'm getting mine up and running and looking for some inspiration!

“…when building thinking classrooms, makes a jump from math to cross curricular to language arts, social studies, science and so on We see that a conversation is actually a really powerful way to close a lesson, especially in the humanities.” @peterliljedahl.bsky.social @mikeflynn55.bsky.social

Sometimes you stand on the furniture when creating a Thinking Classroom with a room full of families! #theanswersare #buildingthinkingclassrooms #iteachmath As Peter says, “The furniture moves.” But sometimes there’s no where for it to go! 🤣

First day of @innovamat.bsky.social PK-4 today! A few things I heard… “It aimed high from the start!” “It was easier to follow than I expected” “Do you think I can BTC the Challenge lessons?” “What’s a Magic Pad?” 🤣 “I decided to…” “I decided to…” Love that it honors teacher expertise!

11yo daughter: CAN I SLEEP WITH THIS!!? 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @mathforlove.bsky.social #iteachmath

Hey #iteachmath community... I need help. Tell me about the progression from proportional to nonproportional unit representations, specifically moving from lower grades to upper elementary grades. When is it appropriate to begin using models like place value discs? Research to support? Thanks!

Thanks for being the BEST emcees!!!

So much incredible thinking and math discussion at the #btcc25

More photos of the wonderful people who made #BTCC25 such a wonderful week. @amandaray @tbrzezinski.bsky.social @novakatz.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social

What an amazing finish to #BTCC25. @peterliljedahl.bsky.social gave an excellent keynote, and the attendees were willing to interact with @cfless.bsky.social and me as we emceed. So grateful for this experience, and can’t wait to see everyone next year in Connecticut for #BTCC26!
